Thank you for the tip.  It was relevant to a procedure I just wrote which
sometimes scans hundreds of records.  I added Block(*Yes) to the F spec,
which dropped the job's I/O count to aproximately 1/10, and dropped the CPU
consumption to 1/3 of the previous use.

Without blocking an SQL alternative was faster, but with blocking the native
I/O is fastest.

Thanks,

Nathan.
